COURSES

International and Comparative Sports Law
This law course serves as the overarching course for the Law component of the Companion Degree Program it exposes students to the broad range of cross-border and foreign jurisdictional, regulatory, and practice issues that characterize the global sports law industry.

The focus of this course is to introduce, synthesize and evaluate theory; introduce scholarly research; and discuss issues and themes regarding international sports law. The differences and similarities between American, European and International sports will be compared via lecturers, readings, and in-class discussions. The following topics will be covered throughout the course: The International Olympic Committee (IOC), International Federations, National Federations, National Olympic Committees, the Olympics, FIFA, FIBA, and the globalization of professional sport.

Intellectual Property in Sports
This course will address the laws that protect intellectual property in relation to the sports industry. The course highlights the extent to which such laws, whether local, national, or international, incentivize or sometimes inhibit the development and expansion of sports and sports-related businesses, how they protect or fail to protect the creations and identities of those involved, and how some ultimately support consumer confidence in sports-related goods or services.

The specific aim of the course is to encourage students to consider the role of intellectual property law in the context of the particular industry. We will explore the basic principles of intellectual property law, including trademarks, copyrights, rights of publicity, and utility and design patents in relation to individual athletes, teams, their personnel and fans, the sports they play and technological improvements related thereto, the leagues and unions in which they are members, the venues and media in which their performances are observed, and ancillary businesses that exploit their names and images, identifying features and behaviors, and statistics, among other marketable information.

We will consider the exclusive rights associated with such laws, their exceptions, how they differ in different jurisdictions, and the significance of international treaties related to these laws. Students will learn to recognize different types of intellectual property rights and how they are applied in the sports industry, and evaluate the successes and failures of the law in this context.

Alternative Dispute Resolution
Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) refers to any means of settling disputes outside of the courtroom. ADR typically includes early neutral evaluation, negotiation, conciliation, mediation, and arbitration. As burgeoning court queues, rising costs of litigation, and time delays continue to plague litigants, more states have begun experimenting with ADR programs. Some of these programs are voluntary; others are mandatory.

While the two most common forms of ADR are arbitration and mediation, negotiation is almost always attempted first to resolve a dispute. It is the preeminent mode of dispute resolution. Negotiation allows the parties to meet in order to settle a dispute. The main advantage of this form of dispute settlement is that it allows the parties themselves to control the process and the solution.

Negotiations
In sessions taught by our expert faculty, you will broaden your understanding of negotiation concepts, acquire proven negotiating techniques, and have the opportunity to put your learning into practice.

Negotiations teaches you how to get the most out of negotiations by creating a winning proposition for both sides. You also explore methods for successful conflict resolution and understand the impact of cultural differences in the negotiation process.
